[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5] net/i40e: config fdir automatically

[Xiaoyun Li <xiaoyun.li@intel.com>]

I40e driver needed users to config exact fdir mode to create rte_flow
rules but it shouldn't. This patch allows users to create rte_flow rules
without configuring fdir mode and let the driver config fdir automatically.
And remove the workaround in flow filtering example.

---
v5:
 * Added missing comment in v4.
v4:
 * Polished commit log.
 * Added comments that the original fdir config codes should be removed
 * when the legacy filter API is deprecated.
v3:
 * Fixed fdir config doesn't automatically remove when last flow is
 * destroyed.
v2:
 * Added fdir teardown in i40e_flow_flush_fdir_filter.
 * Replace TAILQ_FIRST with TAILQ_EMPTY which is more intuitive.
 * Remove the workaround in flow_filtering example since the driver will
 * set the fdir config automatically.
